US devised secret plan to shield Trump from Iranian threat at NATO summit

The Washington Post has revealed a security plan to protect US President Donald Trump from a possible assassination attempt orchestrated by Tehran during the final days of the NATO summit held in Turkey.

According to the plan, Trump secretly left Turkey last month aboard a smaller aircraft as part of a tightly coordinated security operation prompted by an Iranian threat, according to news reports. The plan involved the president disembarking from Air Force One via a catering truck at the airport, then transferring to another plane for his departure.

Trump had arrived in Turkey on a new aircraft gifted to the United States by Qatar, which was intended to serve as Air Force One. However, officials announced that the president would depart on an older presidential plane due to security concerns.

After boarding the older presidential aircraft, video footage showed Trump secretly exiting via the catering vehicle, then transferring to a smaller C-32A Air Force jet. The Qatari-gifted plane, the older presidential aircraft used as Air Force One, and the C-32A all departed separately for the United Kingdom, according to the report.

Upon arrival in Britain, Trump reboarded the Qatari-gifted aircraft and returned to the United States.

White House spokesperson Steven Cheung confirmed that the new Air Force One is highly advanced and equipped with top-level security protocols to ensure the safety of the president and his staff. As the president recently stated, there are many enemies of America targeting him, and all available tools are being used to address these threats.

When the plane landed at RAF Mildenhall in England at 10:29 p.m. local time, journalists were not informed for about 20 minutes that they would be allowed to take a photo from beneath the aircraft's wing—a vantage point typically used to document the president's disembarkation.
